The newest endangered baby gorilla at the London Zoo is more than six weeks old but doesn’t yet have a name

. Zookeepers aren’t even sure if it’s a male or female because they haven’t been able to get close enough to examine it. A photo taken Monday by The Associated Press shows why: The gorilla's mother, Effie, has the baby in her loving cuddle. “It’s actually quite tricky to sex a young gorilla without a close-up examination,” said Rebecca Blanchard, a zoo spokesperson.

Both babies were sired by Kiburi, a 19-year-old silverback brought to the zoo five years ago from Tenerife in Spain's Canary Islands as part of a conservation breeding program to help preserve the critically endangered gorilla subspecies. The birth of Effie's baby wasn't simple. The gorilla arrived wrapped in its umbilical cord, posing a possible threat to its life.
